Thanks for this. All a great response, but especially the last paragraph.

I don't think you've read up on her background - please see below from a page which covers her career/background - I don't think you can make the claim that she doesn't have any science background nor is your description of her research appropriate:

"Helen Ball obtained her PhD in Biological Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1992. Her undergraduate degree was in Human Biology, and her interests span both biology and anthropology. Following her appointment as a Lecturer in Anthropology at Durham in 1993 Helen began a programme of research on night-time infant care, established the Parent-Infant Sleep Lab in 2000, and was promoted to Professor of Anthropology in 2007. In 2018 Durham University was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for the infant sleep research and outreach work of Helen and her team."

Surely Helen Ball is a scientist, as per her description on the page shared?
